Hollywood Studios

Our final day was spent in Hollywood Studios. We were up with the sun that morning to get to breakfast at Hollywood and Vine.

Hollywood and Vine has all of the Disney Junior characters like Sofia, Doc McStuffins, Jake, and Handy Manny. Again, Reese was excited to see them all but the boys were not so much.

As soon as breakfast was over we headed to the Star Tours ride. Lance took the big kids on while I waited for Claire, Bryan, and Hadley to meet up with us again.

Finally reunited!

Once they were there, they kept Hayes so the four of us could ride Star Tours together.

And then the boys all went to ride it one more time. We also did a Frozen sign-along show, saw a really short Frozen Parade, rode Toy Story Mania (which we all loved), watched the Little Mermaid show and Disney Junior show and did some shopping.

Finally it was the moment we all had been waiting for. Tower of Terror!! Claire kept the babies while the four of us and Bryan went to ride. In this picture below Sam was being brave but Reese was crying while we were standing in line. I kept questioning making them ride this but in the end it was fun. Both of them were gripped on to an arm the entire time. They both said it was fun but wouldn’t do it again.

After that I told Reese she didn’t have to do Rock’n Roller Coaster.

Then we went to the Cars Stunt Show. We didn’t realize how late in the day it was so we couldn’t stay long because we had dinner reservations at Mama Melrose. Claire decided it was time for them to leave because they were heading back home that night. We were so sad about them leaving but it was great to have been able to spend a few days with them.

While we were waiting for dinner Reese saw Phineas and Ferb.

After dinner Lance took the big kids to ride Star Tours one more time and I went ahead and got in the Fast Pass line for Fantasmic. I was starting to get super bummer that I wasn’t going to get to ride Rock’n Roller Coaster because they were closing the ride line at 7:30. Luckily Lance walked up just after 7:00, I ran to get in the single rider line, rode it and was back to him by 7:15ish. Then it was his turn to run over and get in a quick ride.

That night was the Fantasmic! Show. It is a water show with really neat effects. It is supposed to be Mickey fighting his nightmares so there are some villains and scary parts of the show. Overall it was a fun show though.

Friday morning we slept until 8:45 and got moving slowly. We didn’t have to check out until 11:00. After packing all of our stuff up, we headed over to ride the monorail one more time for Hayes. We did one big loop around and then got in the car.

We were all so sad to end our vacation. It was truly a magical time and we can’t wait to start planning our next trip!!
